UNSPSC 50341616: Frozen flaming gold apricots

The variety of apricots known as flaming gold apricots that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50341616 Frozen flaming gold apricots is a Commodity code that does not map cleanly to recent state and local procurement activity. The most-recent-opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for frozen apricots or closely related frozen fruit products. The sourced opportunities span shelf-stable groceries for senior services, regional park food concessions, institutional state hospital and living center dining, school nutrition programs, and Head Start child care food service — none of which isolates frozen apricots as a line item or procurement focus. The code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited under related food-commodity codes (frozen vegetables, fresh produce, general grocery inventory) diverge substantially, making it difficult to draw actionable signals from the available data.

Issuing bodies across the recent record include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), state correctional departments (Oregon DOC), county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Early County, Georgia; Gwinnett County, Georgia), municipal school districts (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and nonprofit providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, and New Jersey, with state institutions and school nutrition programs dominating the volume. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples (due August 19, 2026), the New Jersey Department of Human Services' rebid for frozen mixed vegetables in 12/2 lb. bags (due June 17, 2026), and multiple Texas HHSC institutional food service contracts spanning frozen products as one component within broader grocery or consumable line-item rosters. The absence of standalone solicitations for frozen apricots specifically suggests either limited demand or commoditization as a line item within larger produce or frozen-food aggregate buys.
